It's not that I wouldn't if I could but I can't keep my old rear speakers. I refer you to this link to explain the rear speakers of an IS300.

Why the stock rear speakers won't work with an aftermarket headunit.

After some more research I am going with the Alpine PDXF6 Amp and Infinity Kappa 6929i 6x9 speakers. Everything else is the same except for the wiring kit... went with Knu.

Edit: Went back to the RF OFC wiring kit.

I'll look into that. Sounds like good advice. Perhaps after my system install so I can do a before and after.

If your not running subs it will help get your mids to play properly... Read a couple threads on how to seal and deaden your doors...

if you don't want a sub because of space then your can get a shallow mount with a custom fiber glass box on the either side of the trunk

Actually I was thinking of possibly (sometime down the road) installing a 10" sub directly behind the rear seat arm rest. It would also require a shallow mount custom fiberglass box but the woofer itself would be visible with the arm rest down and therefore pushing its sound into the main cabin instead of the trunk.

For now I just want to finish this project without a sub and see how I like it.

I have a 2001 is300 with factory 6x9s and I just put my dmm on them and they read 4.8 ohms each and also read 4ohm on the magnent. If yours is newer they might have switched their setup but you can still tell with a multimeter and if yours are like mine (4ohm) id run wire straight from the deck to them for a little rear fill. That way it will save you some money not buying the 6x9s and you will only need a 2 channel amp for the front stage.
